I knew something was up!<br /><br />I actually have this on my movie list. I am hoping to be able to catch up on some of these when I graduate. Your posts always make me want to put on fancy pajamas, snuggle up and watch movies :)Sarahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12497037707134979575noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2850055747571329079.post-64177741075038784932011-07-18T13:03:48.122-07:002011-07-18T13:03:48.122-07:00Really nice blog !

You will be coming at it from a totally different place than i did so your opinion of it will be interesting i'm sure. i recall something i read about deniro, when he was making Taxi Driver someone from Last Tycoon came by with some wardobe items for him to try on and the person relating this story said they watched in wonder as Deniro seemed to totally change not just his clothes but himself into this other character while doing the wardobe testing.Artman2112https://www.blogger.com/profile/03062864368596074661noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2850055747571329079.post-71233523148983127002011-07-18T06:21:58.172-07:002011-07-18T06:21:58.172-07:00Please let us know what you think.
